- “A special model of the object, exercizing the methodological function of synthesis” (I.V. BLAUBERG, V.N. SADOVSKY & E.G. YUDIN, 1977, p.123).
According to these authors : “This model has to be evolved in such a way as to coordinate different notions of the object and explain each of them as a particular ”cross-section“ or angle from which the object is viewed. Of special significance is the fact that the researcher, using the configurator model for presenting the object as a system, has to start out from the idea of the systemic structure of the given object.
- “The initial notion is of a hypothetical character and is more precise in the course of further theoretical treatment of the object” (Ibid).
